The Duly Monitor of Fort Scott, Kan
sas, speaks in tlattcring terms of machin-
cry in operation at that place and made
by the Pussy & Jones Company.
The sugar works are now in full opera
ton, working about $50 tons of cane per
day, and turning out from 10000 to 49,
600 pounds of sugar, and from 10000 10
1900 gallons of molasses every "a hours.
About 100 men find employment and
good wages, while the number Of men
occupied in getting cane to the factory is
fully that many more. Nearly $500 per
day is paid out for cane and labor. The
process used is a new one as applied to
sugar-cane, and the diffusion battery, as
this machine is called, consists of IA
upright boilers, each holding one ton of
macerated cane and provided with re-
moval tops for admitting, and swinging
bottoms for the removal of the material
TO be treated. This machine was built
by the Pusey & Jones Company of Will
mington, Delaware, and is modelled after
the best sugar extracting machinery of
Germany and France. 1t is pronounced
by experts as a very complete machine
and reflects great credit upon the firm
who built it. The same firm also con-
structed the eYaporators, which weigh
when empty $4,000 pounds, and rank in
capacity and completeness among the
best in the world, and are models Of
neatness and workmanship.
"As 10 the success of this industry
there seems now no question. One hun
pounds of good sugar and from 10 to Il
gallons of syrup are made from every
ton of cane worked. This has never be-
fore been approximeted, and settles for
ever the business ofsugar making in Kan
sas."

The Academy nine, of Newark, and
the Christiana Red Stocking club pIifYed
a tight game of base ball on Saturday
afternoon on the grounds Of tho latter.
The score was tied in the fifth inning but
a change of pitchers in the sixth by the
home club gave the visitors six runs,
which gave them the game. The New
arkers played a square game but some
one at the close disgraeed himself by
pocketng the Cristiana clubs ball. If
the person that took it will apply to the
Christiana club they will make him
present of ball The score stood: Acad-
envy, 10; Christiana, Is.
The above notice appeared in the Will
mington Republican, and is correct ex-
cept where it accuses one of us of taking
the ball. As an association we are sorry,
i indeed, that the Christiana did not get
their ball, for we all solemnly declare
that none of us got said ball. We hate
to be accused Of taking such trihing
thing us II ball, and it would have been
more becoming to the Christiana club
to found the truth before having pub
fishing what is certainly not true. 1t is
a very small matter in the first place,
but when Il club whines over a lost ball
like babies ii is indeed pitilul. The last
that was seen of the ball by our players
was when it was thrown into the field by
the Newark catcher, who caught foul,
putting out side and giving us the win
ming run. 1t is likely if the Christiana
players will take look for the ball they
may find il in the diamond. The mem
bers of Newark club are willing to make
oath that they did not get the ball.

ELEToN, Sept. 10, 81
EDIToRs OF LEDGER. Sirs:
notice in the columns of your paper, 4
statement to the effect, that the unruly
behaviour at the Barksdale Sabbath
School had driven me away. l am glad
to say that such is not the fact. Since
have proposed to resort to the law for
protection, better order has boon observ-
ed. l wish to say further, that the be-
havior previously mentioned, has never
had my sanction since have been in
charge of the school. | have repeatedly
spoken against the behaviour, and adj
vised them to discontinue, but seemingly
without success. have gone so far as
to take one name and contemplated tax
ing others. This school, l understand
for quite a while, has been molested by
young men who had no respect for them
selves or others. As long as | shall have
charge, propose to do my best to have
a respectable school. What use is the
school if is not respectable. | am with
you in this respect, if folks cannot be-
have themselves home is the most suita-
BILE place for them. l have the sympa-
thy of all the respected of the neighbor-
hood in this work. JONI Il. MAHANEY,
Superintendent.
Ut is with pleasure we give space to
the above. Wemay have misunderstood
our informant in regard to driving the
superintendent away, but we make no
mistake in what we say to the unruly,
and wicked behavior of some of the boys.
Mr.. Mahaney admits that the boys are
bad, and we are going to assist him all
we can to break up this rowdyism on
Sunday about the sacred place Of Sun
day School,-EDs.1

Let Us Have 1t.

Just now We understand that a larre
business industry will locate in this town
or close by it if they can get water. They
want the town to place water-works here
and then they will locate with us. This
is an opportunity that should not be al
lowed to pasi Hundreds ofmen will be
employed and thousands Of dollars paid
monthly. Isn't it to our interest to go to
work at once and raise by subscription
the amount necessary, or even bond the
town to secure the requisite amount.
Before Newark can attract industries to
locate here, she must have water any
way. Let the business and moneyed
men hold a meeting and discuss the adj
visibility Of placing water in Newark.
We think it would be cheapest to put a
standpipe heee, and therefore that would
not cost much. Hold a meeting, start a
subscription paper and let us all work to
secure great industry which will locate
here If water is placed in the town.

Something new pops up from week to
week. The High School investigation
does not lack interest, although Il weeks
rest has been taken in the proceedings,
thus giving everybody chance TO air
the subject thoroughly on the streets and
through the newspapers. The Morning
Ncrs has already been caYes-dropping.
The High School subject is merely Il
great big amount of jealousy, and from
what we. can learn, the Principal is the
central target. lie fights his battle
against every odds, and he makes many
people sad by the manner in which he
throws hot shot This fight is similar to
the college muss, of'which of course you
have vivid recollection. This will do
this time. Perhaps more in my next.
In strolling through our beautiful city
of the dead Wilmington and Brandy
wine Cemetery, our attention was
drawn to the grave of one Sam Lee,
celestial. What spectacle On the
grave was seen peaches, apples, roast
duck, besides other eatables. These
were placed there to satisfy the supposed
hunger of the departed "Chinee," who is
believed to come forth from mother
earth and partake of the many good
things placed at his disposal. Whether
Mr.. Pig-Tail comes to the surface Or not,
the apples, peaches, and more especially,
the roast duck, disappears eiTectually and
quickly. This takes place principally
after nightful, when grave yards yawn,
and ours sneak about
The policy shops are just now keep
ing "closed house." The hackers and
writers, together with considerable par
aphanalia, were scooped in one Monday
night, by shrewd detectives assisted by
Mayor Rhoads' pick of patrolmen. The
question is, will the evil of policy play
ing be abandoned after such q capture.
Hardly 1t will, however, have the good
effect of preventing the game being play
ed with such open eiiron.ery as has been
the case heretofore. From the amount
ofmoney made by "backers" in this low
game, it is not at all surprising that they
do not want to quit. Not only policy
but keno, is curse to our thriving city
of manufactures. Now that a wholesale
slaughter has been inaugurated, it is to
be hoped that no quarter will be shown
those who draw from the poor their last
pennies, and curse all who engage in it.
A great parade of Red Men took place
on Tuesday All kinds of war paint was
seen, and fire water was not scarce, if one
was to Judge correctly They seemed to
have good time generally.

Before the Squire.

THE third attempt to settle as to
whether Manse Bradford had injured a
a horse belonging to Harry II. Haines.
was made on Tuesday of this week.
1t appears that Bradford secured horse
from Haines' livery under an assumed
name, so we are told, and said he was
going to Brick Meeting House, but drove
the horse to Woodlawn camp-meeting.
Haines claimed that the animal is not
worth but little now, as it was badly
used up. This is the third time the case
has come before Squire McKeowan. 1t
was case of cruelty to animals. Amer
hearing testimony on both sides, the de-
fendent was discharged. James L. VAL
landigham was counsel for defendent.

mean to have a first class exhibition.

way. Persons can reach the Fair by

Where he came from or how he got
there is hard to tell. He was first dis
covered lying in front Of the residence of
ex-Coroner Byard Widdoes. He appear
ed to be in the last throes Of death. Life
seemed almost gone, and those who
gathered around spoke in whispers. One
thought that the dying creature had
sought out the ex-Coroner's residence, as
there might be need of holding an in
quest. 1t was terrible struggle between
life and death. Life cast death aside
arose and started Of 1t was thought
best to shoot him to relieve life from so
much misery. The crack shots secured
their firearms and the fusilade began.
After two shots were sent into the suffer-
ing flesh, what was the result 4 he
canine got up trotted up town, and went
into the bank yard and laid down quietly.
Probably he knew that all deposits made
in this building were safe, and therefore,
he felt safe. The citizens thought other
wise. That "yaller dorg" must die.
Six more shots were fired at him, and
that dog lived. The boys took up the re-
frain, and said as he dead, yet ?" At
last that little "yaller dorg" laid himself
down and died. Nobody owned him
and he had no friends.
So ends the life of the dog so yellow,
He may have had a happy play-fellow.
He wandered from home; he hadn't a

Last season at an agricultural fair out

couple-man and woman-who would
get married on raised platform. The at
tendance ON this occasion was very large
and was a great help to the fair. Now,
as a suggestion, can't this be done at
Elkton and Dover? There may be some
trouble about getting couple who are
willing, but if the premium be attractive
enough there will be no lacking of cou-
pies Who will second this suggestion ?
